However, the down mood was lifted by a touching gesture from captain Brett Lee, who was engaged with young fans, and his interaction also included a touching cultural conversation with a young Sikh fan.
During this, a prominent moment unfolded as Lee's eyes met a young Sikh fan, and the superstar pacer folded his hands in respect, greeting the fan with a heartfelt "Sat Sri Akaal". Lee was also heard saying, "Hi Paaji, Sat Sri Akaal."
